It's getting SPF Fail because the sender is reporting as localhost, which doesn't match your SPF record in eggycrew.com

Code: Select all

(eggycrew.com.           14400   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a mx ip4:65.99.199.113 mx:mail.eggycrew.com ip4:65.99.199.112 -all")
It doesn't look like the sender is authenticating; it looks like he's using a local smtp server to send the mail to eggycrew.com:

Code: Select all

for dave@eggycrew.com; Wed, 19 Sep 2007 07:16:37 -0500
Received: from localhost by server1.eggycrew.com 
That's why it's failing.

That's my 15 second diagnostic at least.
